Bath’s Roman springs to 18th century Bathian splendor
A vivid tour of Bath from Roman spa to Georgian boom. It recalls Beal Nash and Ralph Allen shaping the city with quarries and Allen’s Palladian palace, John Wood’s architecture, and the social empire around Beau Nash. The Pump Room and Assembly Rooms endured, while Bath’s famed old mews and lanes fade but memory remains.
